Marta Caravà

Marta Caravà is a Post-doctoral Research Associate in the Philosophy Department at Purdue University.
She works in the philosophy of mind, philosophy of cognitive science and philosophical psychology. She combines methods in analytic philosophy and empirically informed philosophy to understand how our cognitive and affective processes are shaped by our bodies and the environment we live in.
Through this methodology she has worked on mental representations, the relationship between perception and action, emotion-regulation, and memory.
Among others, her current research interests include:

• forgetting: how it works, what it does in our cognitive, affective, social and moral lives;
• absences in memory and perception;
• the role of expressive properties of objects in emotion-regulation.
• situated and embodied aspects of norms.

Before joining Purdue, she held research fellowships at the Ruhr University Bochum and was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Bologna.
